	I've often wondered if the name "Eleanor Bold" in PEACE is simply a
coincidence, or is intended to mean something.  I've seen Wolfe refer to
Trollope before, particularly in an essay or interview when he was discussing
the value to a writer of having a job other than writing (I think this is in
CASTLE OF DAYS).  So, it seems reasonable to assume Wolfe's read BARCHESTER
TOWERS, and possibly all of the Barchester books, and it is an intentional
effect.  But what exactly is it supposed to suggest?  Any ideas?
